Figure 2From: Validation of a set of reference genes to study response to herbicide stress in grassesAverage expression stability values (M) of seven candidate reference genes computed using geNorm. Ranking was performed for all RNA samples (TOTAL), and for the subsets +2.5H, +6H and RESISTANT. M-values of the remaining genes at each step during stepwise exclusion of the least stable gene are shown. The genes are ranked according to increasing expression stability (decreasing M-values) starting from the least stable gene on the left. The two most stable genes are on the right. The horizontal dotted line indicates the cutoff M-value (1.5).Back to article page
